Host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, welcomes you to the Homeless in San Diego Podcast — Season Two: “Homebound.”
This season we are diving into four topics: Housing, Recovery, Poverty, and Mental Health.
Here to talk about their expertise with Housing is Anthony White. Anthony is a veteran who experienced homelessness after serving our country. Now, Anthony serves a different purpose. With a new found passion in Homeless Advocacy at the local and state level, he is a proud member of the San Diego Homeless-Experienced Advocacy and Leadership (HEAL) Network.
Emergency Fund Ad Break:
Interfaith Community Services is here for people in their time of need, and now more than ever, our services are critical. Last week, Governor Newsom issued a state-wide “stay at home” order for all Californians. Essential services and people who provide them are exempt from this order. Interfaith is identified as essential; our services, staff, and volunteers are indispensable and exempt from the executive order.
Interfaith will prove to be an essential leader in addressing the economic fallout caused by COVID-19 in the coming weeks and months. For now, though, we are in crisis response mode. We need your help now more than ever. With personnel and resources stretched thin, we need donations and volunteers to continue our important work.
Interfaith has created an Emergency Fund in response to COVID-19 with all donations matched up to $50,000. To donate visit interfaithservices.org/donate and select “Emergency Fund” in the drop-down menu.
We will remain committed to supporting the most vulnerable among us during these times and are doing everything to be sure we can. Thank you for the outpouring of support, ensuring our doors remain open to those most in need.
Anthony’s Transformative Thought:
Your Voice Matters: In order to make change happen on Homelessness, we need to hear from people who have experienced it. Contact your representatives and make your voice heard today.
